Thanks everyone. I really appreciate all the replies. I think I'll play it safe and go with a GP100... probably the GP141.

Thanks for the replies. Keep them coming.

I'm looking for opinions on the quality of Taurus revolvers these days. In asking around at local shops they tell me that its about the same quality as a Ruger. Specifically, I am looking at the 617 with 2 inch barrell. I havent yet decided on blue or stainless. I shot a firend's 22 cal...

Thanks for clarifying.

What if its not filled out and buyer has the firearm?

Can someone explain what is the purpose of the FFL paperwork for both dealers/buyers of guns?

Burris is a good quality scope.

I have a Ballitic Plex on my Browning Abolt and I agree that its a good scope for hunting. I've heard mixed reports on Nikon so I am not sure about it even though the price is appealing. I just bought a Remington 700P LTR for long range target practice and I'll probably take it hunting...

I've been researching the same topic and found alot of useful stuff in this four-part article: http://www.snipercountry.com/Articles/AR15_part1.asp

ahhh... yea I'm married with children so thats not my motivation. So does anyone know of any scopes that have bullet drop compensator knobs for around $500? The closest thing I can find is three of the Leupold Mark 4 scopes for around $1k and add a couple hundred more for the TMR reticles...

CDI?

I was going to stick with a Burris Ballistic Plex but I want to try shooting upto 800yards. Would a Mil-Dot scope be the way to go? Any suggestions on scopes? ...under $500?

This is a new area for me to sorry if this is a silly question... What are the varmint calibers? I'm thinking that 223, 22-250 and 243 are the main ones? What makes one better than the other?

I've been using a 3-9x40 and have been wanting to try a higher power for long range. I think Eshell had the answer for me and I'll probably go with the 4.5-14x40(which is what I was leaning towards anyways). Thanks again to everyone for the feedback.

Well, I bought the 700P LTR this weekend. Cant wait to try it out. I'm thinking about putting either a 4.5-14x42 or a 6.5-20x50 on it. Any recomendations? Hunting/Target shooting.
